    “Responding to RBI’s extraordinary monetary policy measures to support the wider economy, SBI has passed on the entire 75 bps Repo rate cut to its borrowers availing loans under external benchmark rates,” the bank said. “In view of adequate liquidity in the system and the additional liquidity measures announced in the monetary policy, the bank has also realigned its deposit rates.”

    The bank said interest rate call on loans linked to the marginal cost of lending rate or MCLR will be taken when the lender’s asset liability committee meets in April. Though it assured its borrowers that the impact of the recent RBI policy measures and reduction in the bank’s deposit rates will be reflected in the next review of MCLR.
